New in Forever
From Blizzard's beta notes 90 notes
- Seal of Fury is no longer overwritten by Power Word: Shield. 15 Oct
- Blessing of Salvation and Greater Blessing of Salvation are replaced by Salvation and Mass Salvation, applied the same way but not exclusive with blessings. 15 Oct
- Paladins also learn Revoke when they learn Salvation: it removes a party or raid member's Salvation or Mass Salvation, so you choose who has it. 15 Oct
- Judgement of Righteousness and Judgement of Fury now have the correct spell power coefficients for instant cast spells. 15 Oct
- Seal of Righteousness no longer gains almost twice as much benefit from Spell Damage as intended. 15 Oct
- Judgement of Righteousness had a wrong Spell Damage coefficient, now fixed. 15 Oct
- Consecration's Spell Power coefficient per tick is 0.042 (was 0.095). 15 Oct
- Righteous Fury's Holy damage threat generation is 90% (was 60%). 15 Oct
- Seal of Fury rank 3 is trained at level 26 (it wrongly said level 25). 15 Oct
- Using a focus macro to cast Light's Vigil now puts it on the right target. 15 Oct
- Infusion of Light no longer gives Holy Shock 50% increased damage against enemies. 15 Oct
- Shield Specialization restores 4% Mana with a 3 second internal cooldown (was 6% with a 3 second internal cooldown). 15 Oct
- Reckoning now gives a charge each time it triggers, up to 4; your next melee swing spends all charges for 1 extra attack each. This restores Classic Era's stored charges and stops instant attacks resetting your auto attack timer. 15 Oct
- Champion of the Light now increases your spell damage by 10/20/30% of your Intellect (was 20/40/60%). 15 Oct
- Sanctified Judgement's Mana restore no longer generates threat. 15 Oct
- Holy Strike is a new Paladin ability learned at level 6: an instant strike dealing Holy damage based on 50% of your weapon damage plus a bonus that grows with each rank. 15 Oct
- Judgement no longer consumes the Paladin's active Seal. 15 Oct
- Salvation is no longer a Blessing, so a Paladin can keep a Blessing and Salvation on the same target; the raid version that covers a whole class is now Mass Salvation. 15 Oct
- Seal of Fury is a new tanking Seal learned at level 10: each melee swing adds fixed Holy damage, so a fast weapon is better; with a shield equipped you gain an absorption shield of 50% of that damage, which does not stack; its Judgement adds Holy damage and taunts from 10 yards. 15 Oct
- The Fire, Frost and Shadow Resistance Auras now affect all raid members within 30 yards. 15 Oct
- Consecration is learned by every Paladin at level 20 instead of being a Holy talent, and is redesigned: moderate damage to the first 4 enemies that enter it and very low damage to the rest, so threat on 4 targets matches Warrior's Thunderclap. 15 Oct
- Lay on Hands has a 20 minute cooldown, down from 1 hour. 15 Oct
- Classic's baseline Seal Twisting is gone. The Retribution 31-point talent Twist of Light brings back a more forgiving form of it, and Holy Shock is the alternative for hybrid Holy builds that skip Seal Twisting. 15 Oct
- Healing Light moves from row 3 up to row 2 and now also increases Holy Shock healing. 15 Oct
- Spiritual Focus now also applies to Light's Vigil and costs 2 talent points instead of 5. 15 Oct
- Improved Seals (formerly Improved Seal of Righteousness) now affects damage from all Seals and Judgements and costs 3 talent points instead of 5. 15 Oct
- Unyielding Faith moves from row 3 up to row 2 and now shortens the duration of Fear and Disorient effects instead of giving a chance to resist them. 15 Oct
- Voice of Truth is a new 11-point Holy talent that grants an ability: immunity to Silence and Interrupt effects for 6 seconds, on a 3 minute cooldown. 15 Oct
- Reverence is a new row 3 Holy talent that lets a Paladin keep up to 30% of Spirit's Mana regeneration while casting. 15 Oct
- Purifying Power is a new row 3 Holy talent: up to 20% less Mana for Cleanse and Purify and up to 33% shorter cooldowns on Exorcism and Holy Wrath. 15 Oct
- Infusion of Light is a new row 4 Holy talent: critical hits with Holy Shock and Flash of Light shorten your next Holy Light by up to 1 second, so Holy Paladins vary their heals instead of spamming Flash of Light. 15 Oct
- Illumination needs Reverence, can now also be triggered by Light's Vigil, and its Mana refund is cut to 50% of the healing spell's base cost. 15 Oct
- Divine Favor is now the 16-point Holy talent instead of the 21-point one. 15 Oct
- Divine Precision is a new row 5 Holy talent that needs Holy Shock and gives up to 18% more hit chance with Holy spells; Blizzard will not put hit chance on Plate healing gear, so the talent provides it. 15 Oct
- Holy Shock moves from the 31-point talent to the 21-point talent and its cooldown drops from 30 to 10 seconds, which makes hybrid Shockadin builds easier and opens room for Light's Vigil. 15 Oct
- Consecrated Ground is a new row 5 Holy talent: your Holy spells deal up to 10% more damage to the first 4 enemies that enter your active Consecration. 15 Oct
- Holy Power now raises the critical strike chance of Holy Shock and Holy Strike by up to 15% and of all other spells by up to 5%. 15 Oct
- Light's Vigil is a new 31-point Holy talent that needs Holy Shock: a 1.5 second cast, 30 second duration and 6 second cooldown on an ally or enemy; the next Holy Shock on that target has no cooldown, then refunds 75% of its Mana from an enemy or heals the ally's party. One per party. 15 Oct
- Light's Vigil can be set up ahead on several parties in a raid and followed by back-to-back Holy Shocks when raid-wide damage lands; it is harder to use reactively because it needs setup. 15 Oct
- Improved Lay on Hands is folded into the base ability (shorter cooldown), and Consecration, Improved Blessing of Wisdom and Lasting Judgement are now baseline. 15 Oct
- Toughness moves from row 2 up to row 1. 15 Oct
- Redoubt is redesigned: it no longer needs a critical hit against you but gives a 10% chance when hit to raise your Block chance, by up to 20% instead of 30%. 15 Oct
- Precision now raises hit chance for all spells and attacks, not just melee weapon attacks, so key abilities such as Seal of Fury's taunt land more reliably. 15 Oct
- Anticipation moves from row 3 to row 2 and its maximum Defense bonus doubles to 20, from 10. 15 Oct
- Improved Seal of Fury is a new 11-point Protection talent that returns Mana each time one of Seal of Fury's absorption shields is fully consumed, more against a higher-level attacker such as a raid boss. 15 Oct
- Improved Righteous Fury no longer adds threat; it now gives up to 6% reduced damage taken while Righteous Fury is active. 15 Oct
- Shield Specialization now also gives your blocks a chance to restore some of your maximum Mana, at most once every 3 seconds. 15 Oct
- Sacred Duty is a new row 3 Protection talent: up to 4% more Stamina and up to 1 minute off the cooldowns of Divine Shield, Divine Protection and Templar's Bulwark. 15 Oct
- Swift Judgement is a new 16-point Protection ability: no Mana cost, a 1 minute cooldown, it instantly ends Judgement's cooldown and makes your next Judgement cost 100% less, so a Paladin tank can answer a resisted taunt or taunt several enemies quickly. 15 Oct
- One-Handed Weapon Specialization moves from row 6 to row 4 and needs only 3 talent points for the full effect instead of 5. 15 Oct
- Templar's Bulwark is a new 21-point Protection ability: instant, 5 minute cooldown, an absorption shield equal to 100% of your maximum health for 8 seconds; it applies Forbearance and cannot be used while Forbearance is active. 15 Oct
- Reckoning gains up to a 40% chance to trigger after you Block a melee attack, on top of the 100% chance from a damaging critical hit, and cannot trigger more often than once every 1.5 seconds so a Paladin does not tank large groups. 15 Oct
- Iron Creed is a new row 6 Protection talent: it raises the threat Holy Strike generates, and while Righteous Fury is active Holy Strike also gives up to 10% reduced damage taken for 6 seconds. 15 Oct
- Holy Shield now needs Templar's Bulwark as its prerequisite. 15 Oct
- Blessing of Sanctuary and Improved Concentration Aura are removed from the Protection tree, and Blessing of Kings is now baseline. 15 Oct
- Deflection moves from row 2 up to row 1. 15 Oct
- Benediction now reduces the cost of all instant-cast spells and abilities by up to 10%, instead of only Seals and Judgement by up to 15%. 15 Oct
- Holy Conduit is a new row 2 Retribution talent that reduces the Mana cost of Consecration, Holy Wrath, Exorcism and Hammer of Wrath by up to 40%. 15 Oct
- Conviction moves from row 3 up to row 2, and its tooltip now says it helps melee attacks specifically. 15 Oct
- Vindication is redesigned: your damaging melee attacks can reduce the target's Attack Power and raise your own by up to 3% for 30 seconds, which keeps it useful against casters and when you are not taking most of the damage. 15 Oct
- Sanctified Judgement is a new row 3 Retribution talent: your Judgement has up to a 100% chance to refund up to 60% of the cost of the judged Seal. 15 Oct
- Pursuit of Justice's movement speed bonus rises from a maximum of 8% to 15% for the same number of talent points. 15 Oct
- Eye for an Eye now works against all critical strikes, not just spells, but reflects up to 10% of the damage taken instead of 30%. 15 Oct
- Sacred Arbiter is a new 16-point Retribution talent: Holy Strike deals 20% more damage and refreshes all Judgement effects on the target, even those from other Paladins, so a raid's Paladins can keep Wisdom, Light and the Crusader on at once. 15 Oct
- Vengeance needs Sanctified Judgement, is redesigned and moves from row 6 up to row 5: it lasts 30 seconds and adds up to 3% damage per stack for 3 stacks, 9% in total, where it used to give up to 15% for 8 seconds. 15 Oct
- Repentance is now the 21-point Retribution talent instead of the 31-point one. 15 Oct
- Champion of the Light is a new row 6 Retribution talent that increases your spell damage by up to 30% of your Intellect; it was cut during the beta so Holy Paladins who go deep into Retribution are not too strong. 15 Oct
- Instrument of Law is a new row 6 Retribution talent: Hammer of Wrath's cast time falls by up to 1 second, making it instant, and all threat you generate falls by 20% while Righteous Fury is not active. 15 Oct
- Twist of Light is a new 31-point Retribution talent: Seal spells cost 20% less Mana, and a damage-dealing Seal you replace leaves an Echo that gives your next melee attack the replaced Seal's benefit as well as the active Seal's. 15 Oct
- Improved Seal of the Crusader is folded into the Seal (its Judgement bonus is baseline), and Improved Retribution Aura and Sanctity Aura are removed. 15 Oct
- Blizzard's summary: Paladins keep the Seal and Judgement system, are very strong against Undead and Demons, have limited range (Holy talents add some), no interrupt and no way to slow enemies, and can be effective tanks, competitive damage dealers and the strongest single-target healers. 15 Oct
- Holy sustains single targets with Flash of Light and can heal groups through new talents; Protection gains Swift Judgement, Templar's Bulwark, baseline Consecration and Iron Creed; Retribution gains group utility from Sacred Arbiter and chooses between Twist of Light and hybrid Holy Shock builds. 15 Oct

What you learn at each level
164 ranks from level 1 to 60. A price is what Classic's trainers charged, and a price marked (beta) is what a trainer asked in the beta. A rank with no price says where it comes from instead.
Undead paladins are new in Forever. The beta has 29 Horde paladin class quests (levels 1 to 26), but the game files do not say which of them teaches Redemption, Sense Undead, Summon Warhorse and Summon Charger, so those rows list the Alliance quests.
